Luanne's Wild Ginger - Brooklyn

It’s actually embarrassing how much my partner and I love this place. We come about twice a month I think. It’s SO INCREDIBLY DELISH!!!!! The food is beyond (we’re not vegan but we just love the flavors and freshness prices are better than anywhere in the area and the service is top notch. I’ve never been to a restaurant that notices so quickly when you’re ready to order and then has your food on the table in under five minutes!! We usually have this one server (will get her name next time I’m there who is so efficient and friendly. The indoor seating is really relaxing and the outdoors is more fun. We brought our friends and parents too and now they come all the time! You MUST try this place :

Really great tasting healthy vegan meal : delicious mango summer rolls as an appetizer, with ginger ramen and kimchi squash gumbo as mains. And one beer. Total bill with tip was 60usd, which we found reasonable for such a delicious meal.Restaurant is cute too, with a nice patio courtyard out back.Friendly service but could be a bit more pro. Like, we got summer rolls but no cutlery, and I had to get up and ask for it after 7 10 mins. hoping to get server’s attention. And kimchi gumbo was served lukewarm. It was slightly challenging to communicate that to the server. But it ended up ok another employee helped out, and we got it heated up promptly.Will definitely return maybe our server was still a bit new on the job.

Wonderful vegan food! Everything we tried was delicious. The nori wrap is a genius dish- so simple yet healthy and full of flavor. Excellent all around!Food: 5/5

It’s a shame that I refuse to eat here anymore because the food is great, but the front of house staff are horrendous. It took me over 10 times of them being so rude and unnecessarily impatient to finally say I can’t eat here anymore. And I wouldn’t post this if it wasn’t serious. It’s just a terrible energy to have around food that people are going to be eating. I will continue to support other Wild Ginger locations, but I honestly don’t know how anyone in the service industry- (and at a nice vegan spot at that) can be so horrible to customers. And it’s every time, it’s not a fluke or a bad day, it’s the way they handle everyone. If you eat here, the food will taste good, but you need to do some energetic cleansing of your food before you eat it.

Incredible and expansive menu, including great gluten free options. I love the sweet potato nori wraps, the curry noodles, general's tso tofu, Eggplant with string beans, and the matcha cheesecake. Non gluten free fav includes the scallion pancakesFood: 5/5
